About Samantha

Samantha is a commercial lawyer at Lawpath Legal who brings a calm, clear-headed approach to helping businesses navigate legal complexities. With a background that spans both courtroom experience and commercial advisory work, she’s developed a deep understanding of how to help businesses protect themselves from unnecessary risk. Samantha is known for building strong, lasting relationships with her clients.

Her experience includes working with businesses of all sizes, from early-stage startups to national and international companies with Australian subsidiaries. Many of her clients work with her on an ongoing basis, drawing on her support across a wide range of matters — including service and supply agreements, internal policies, employment contracts, and website and software development projects. Samantha regularly advises on retail and commercial leases across multiple states in Australia — a key part of the business lifecycle that’s often overlooked. She helps clients secure premises that meet their commercial goals while navigating the regulatory and compliance frameworks that come with leasing, ensuring their legal position is protected from the outset.

One of Samantha’s key strengths is negotiating watertight contracts and terms that are fair, equitable, and aligned with her clients’ commercial interests — while carefully balancing those protections within the requirements of Australian legislation. With a foundation in litigation and dispute resolution in both NSW and Victoria, she brings a sharp eye to potential risks and is focused on helping businesses avoid costly disputes by planning ahead. Her approach is thoughtful, pragmatic, and grounded in a clear understanding of what businesses need to operate with confidence and clarity at every stage.
